GNN reporters Daana Kira and Rakiko Lowtide met up with UrZuric on his quest to rescue Lady Zav.

Landing site on Oricon

Our previous encounters with UrZuric was when he was head of the ODSL (Order of Dark Sith Lords) who had taken control of territory on several worlds around the galaxy. At that time he was known as Darth Oblivion. However as we spoke with UrZuric on Oricon, now it was clear he was more like himself when we spoke with him while he was head of the OJO on Onderon.

UrZuric gave an explanation. The leader of the ODSL had been a clone of him, which he recently killed on Coruscant to bring his imperial expansions to an end. With the death of their leader the ODSL seems to have come to an end as well. This incident, he said, was the result of of his interactions with Master Moonsoo of the KOJ several moons ago that left his mind split. Lady Zav tried to “cure” Zuric by cloning him but because of the impending destruction of the OJO the process wasn’t perfected leaving the clone who would become the head of the ODSL and the real UrZuric who was taken to Voss.

Lady Zav herself was defeated by the clone and reborn as Lady Zyrah who co-ruled the ODSL. At the destruction of the ODSL Zyrah fled with the what was left of the dark council to reform the New Order of the Sith, but was recently kidnapped by an entity best described as a Dread Master. Though the entities reasons aren’t known at this time.

UzZuric finally finding peace in his mind on Voss, though leaving him separated from force is now on a quest to free his once love. Helping him is the remainder of the New Order of the Sith and his son Xahertsa. He also hopes to gain support from the Jedi, though has un-easy truce with them since he feels they dropped the ball to help Zav or the OJO previously. How this will end is anyone’s guess and what the plans of this new entity are only time will tell.”

The scientists of the planet Marlev 4 excavated an old star map in a tomb. The tomb is one of the several attributed to the former emperor Palpatine dead a few centuries ago. However the map looks much older: according to the expert it’ll have been made by the Rakatan, an ancient civilization ruling the Galaxy thousands of years ago.

The tomb itself is located near a waterfall close to the city. If the grave itself was already discovered, several paths remained blocked. The unnatural mist floating within the caves doesn’t help the excavations. The map artifact was found after digging in one of the newly discovered branch. Curiously the device was spotted with unidentified blood lasting from about the Palpatine era.

According to the dark lord Oblivion, the map can still be made to work. However, the efforts made to open it were fruitless so far. Lady Zyrah suspects this map might be connected to the dream she had about a foreign world. Whatever it contains, the experts from the Order of Dark Sith Lord (ODSL) are working hard to open this map and discover its secrets.

Sith Ball

The Galactic Empire organised a “Sith Ball” on their planet of Kuat. Under strict security, the festivity gathered several Sith, Imperials, allies and other personalities. The Emperor Kulith Laan was here and received requests and audiences from the guests. Notably, Darth Zyrah from the Order of the Dark Sith Lords in Malrev 4 confirmed they recognized him as their Emperor. The guest of the Sith in formal outfit socialized with each other. Some even tries to start to duel but were removed since no active weapons was allowed.

Newest GNN reporter Xera D’Ukal arrives on Onderon to report on the progress of the rebuilding.

The City of Iziz rebuilt

After much ruin and destruction at the hands of Zavarah and Zuric, Onderon and the city of Iziz has finally been reborn. The Queen Valara Drayen-Kira has been overseeing the project for many months after she and her forces took over the city left by the Sith. Queen Valara managed to rescue large amounts of flora and fauna from the surounding area before it was destroyed, and as Onderon had done to many other worlds over the last several thousand years, reseeded the planet making it more lush than ever. She stated that the tyranny of Zav and Zuric’s rule was over, and that they would never again be welcome on Onderon for the crimes against the her and her people. The Queen also formally announced that the Hapan Ayeka Kel had been elected Onderon Senator to represent them in the Galactic Republic, of which they recently were awarded acceptance. Valara was elated that Onderon was once again welcome in the Republic, and says she looks forward to contributing as much as she can to their efforts and hopes to restore the planet’s economy in return.

When asked about the mild conspiracy about the slaves she had purchased from Shaka the Hutt, the Queen informed GNN that she and her Senator had purchased those slaves in order to free them once they were turned over to her care. Reports confirm said slaves have indeed been released and are free to return to their lives and families, and were offered positions on Onderon if they needed work or a place to live. The Queen had held an Embassy briefly on Ord Mantell where prior GNN offices had been located. When Valara heard these facilities were no longer present on Ord Mantell she had a new building commissioned, and informed GNN of her offer to provide them a new studio and offices in the middle of the city of Iziz.

When asked what the Queen intended her relationship to be with other civilizations, as the prior rulers seemed skittish to such, she responded saying she cannot wait to open trade routes and would welcome visitors with open arms to Onderon who are friendly to the Republic.

GNN reporters Daana Kira and Rakiko Lowtide traveled to Malrev IV where they met with Dark Lady Zava’Rah and Dark Lord Oblivion, though he spoke through a hologram and wasn’t physically present.

The massive citadel and surround area built near the temple of Palaptine

Formally based on Onderon, the Order of Dark Sith Lords (ODSL), headed by Lord Oblivion has moved to the historic Sith planet of Marlev IV. After having been awakened from a sort of coma, Lord Oblivion who was once part of the Onderon Jedi Order, turned on them and most were wiped out. He then destroyed the Jedi temple and surrounding area and left looking for a new home. Accompanied by Lady Zava’Rah, they finally landed on Malrev IV and rebuilt a temple that had been used by Emperor Palpatine, centuries ago. Oblivion stated that was a perfect site, because he was planning to continue the legacy left by this infamous galactic emperor. Zav’Rah had also been with the OJO and was known as Grand Master Zav, though from witness testimonials and theirs, it seems that Zav after failing to protect her order was awakened as Zav’Rah. Similar to Oblivion’s story as well, though it seems that he had been transformed into Zuric and just became his formal self as Oblivion. Jedi or Sith scholars may know more or wish to investigate further.

Most of Malrev is uninhabited and rural, ruins of the old temple are dotting the landscape

Despite their origins, a new Citadel has been built over the sight of Palpatine’s temple. Most of the other construction has been to house the the ODSL, as the planet has no real city centers, only families of Irrukiine scattered around the neighboring areas. Construction was completed on a few other building to service any visitors or those on business such as a landing area, cantina and a theater, though the later is also used for Sith instruction. The Temple itself is the main point and also largest structure by far. It is open to everyone, though the Sith temple inside is closed off to the public. Over time more buildings, expansions, and upgrades will be conducted as the need arises.

For now, the pair weren’t too open about their plans, but as they gain power here on what they termed as a dark side Nexus. They will be teaching others in the Sith arts. They also plan to take revenge up on those who had caused them trouble in the past such as Jedi Master Moonsoo, who Oblivion stated had erased him memories at one time forcing him to live a life as a Jedi. As more news comes from the ODSL activities, GNN will put out updates.

Galactic News met the Dark Lord Oblivion, talking on the events in Callos.

Onderon: The Dark Lord Oblivion, leader of the Order of the Dark Sith Lords (ODSL), evoked his version of Callos story. Now Callos garrison is part of the Grand Army of the Republic, but few time before, it was a secret base for the Imperial Storm Troopers (IST). It was left in charge to the Grand Moff Donny. There, for some reason, Donny renounced to his allegiance to the Sith. The Sith returned to Callos and devastated the facility, leaving Donny for dead.

In Onderon, the Order of the Dark Sith Lords also met a small contingent of the Grand Army of the Republic and they claim having returned them dead to Bakura. Starting up talks with the GAR would have been originally a stratagem of the Grand Moff Donny. Once in Onderon, the Sith planed to slay them all.

The focus is now on Yavin 4. Oblivion sent an ultimatum to the Jedi for their surrender in three days or he will kidnap one of their padawans in the hope this event will be welcomed by “insults and angers”, therefore show what he claims are the “true colours” of the Jedi. Apparently he doesn’t expect this ultimatum is followed, and the order is preparing for the conflict.
